High CPU usage on screen off
Posted: January 5th, 2018, 9:11 pm
Hello everyone,
I have been using Rainmeter for a couple of months, learned a bit on skinning and modified a skin to my tastes. Everything works as it should, but I have one strange problem; I have noticed high (100%) CPU usage when the screen turns off on idle. I can see this in Rainmeter CPU monitor itself and confirmed that it is the RainMeter with Windows Performance Monitor (perfmon). Using Windows 10 1709 on i7 7500U CPU so there should be enough CPU power not to max it. With normal usage (when not locked/screen off) it uses like 5-15% CPU.
Any clues? Did the same thing with stable and does the same thing in latest beta.
It is visible best in this graph from perfmon - the CPU usage drops once I unlock the ultrabook:
Thanx
D.
